Arowana W/ Peacock Bass?

[hmoobvwj]

I have a 3"-3.5" silver arowana and i was wondering if i can keep it with 3 2"-2.5" peacock bass? They will be in a 55g with two 350 pengiun hang on filters and 1 marine 1140 powerhead. Is this good enough to keep the tank clean as well?
Most Thanks!

You should be ok for a little while, but that tank is going to get cramped pretty quickly.

As far as filtration, that seems fine. I have similar filtration on a 55 gallon grow-out tank and I've never had any problems with chemical fluctuations...I just keep up with the weekly water changes.

Do you have pics of these guys? I would love to see them.

great combination, but horrible tank size. When do you plan on upgrading?

with in a month.

if you are gonna get a much larger tank soon then it will be fine for now.

just watch your silver... if the p's can fit in his mouth they will... don't want to see you end up with some expensive feeders..

I think theyll be fine as long as you upgrade to at least a 6 foot tank soon, and eventually an 8 foot tank, but not for a while.

Hello,

it depends on the cichla.
I had a Cichla sp. Xingu 8inch with a 12inch Silver Aro in a 265g tank and the Cichla didn´t stop attaking the Aro.

Now I have a 24"+ Black Aro with 14-17" Azul Cichla and there is no problem.
sometimes the aro hunts them but it is not very agressive.

i currently have some floating plants that floats on top of the tank for the arowana, BUT he is such a pansy and will never leave the planted area and will never come out behind the filter. but if I remove the plants, Will the powerhead be too strong of a current for him? (he swims around more without the plants)
Thanks
